RMT Out of hand

Why haven't they adjusted it so the blacklist is blocking accounts yet? That alone would fix the majority of the problems, since most of the RMTers are on the same account. Blocking an entire account from your blacklist would make it infinitely easier to shut them down.

So much this!

Wait rmt are sending you friend requests? Wow I was gonna say Idk why people are so upset i might get one, maybe two tells in a day ignore and they don't actually bother me at all.(this while being logged on almost all day everyday) perhaps its the server? On Balmung like i said i might see 2 rmt tells a day and it doesn't really bother me, I just ignore them.

I wish all our servers were like that but Balmung is locked for character creation almost 24/7. They can't make new characters to spam people. On Faerie and other smaller servers it's a total nightmare. Ignoring them does no good because they make a character, spam the world, delete and remake all day long. By the time you blacklist them, they've made a new character to hit the world again. If I don't have /busy up, I'll get a tell every 2 minutes or less. Because I like talking to people and making friends I don't want to have to filter tells or keep /busy up. I've thought about giving up my main and just playing on Balmung because of this but there has to be a better answer.

Hi RyuDragnier,

Why haven't they adjusted it so the blacklist is blocking accounts yet? That alone would fix the majority of the problems, since most of the RMTers are on the same account. Blocking an entire account from your blacklist would make it infinitely easier to shut them down.

I wrote a full functional description on how to do this (minus the Lua code), and how to implement a global
blacklist. I posted it to a non-Square Enix FFXIV website. I was immediately "shot down" and flamed
by a RMT spammer sympathizer, who argued that such changes would "break the Lua source code and
crash the networks."
